Program title: Food is Good Medicine. The project promotes the exchange of intergenerational cultural knowledge and practices related to traditional foods, contributing to healthy lifestyle and risk reduction for type 2 diabetes. Young adults and youths are engaged in leadership projects and summer camps that include cooking demonstrations and digital storytelling. The project increases access and availability of produce from the Potawot Community Food Gardens that is distributed to communities served by United Indian Health Services. Materials, such as guides and toolkits, are being developed to promote and honor traditional foodways. Community events and conferences are being planned to increase awareness and education about traditional foods and sustainable ecological approaches.
